The East
Coast Greenway (ECG) is a 3,000
mile trail system linking 25 major cities
from Maine to Florida. A pathway to health
and adventure for non-motorized travelers
including walkers, cyclists, skiers,
skaters, equestrians, and wheelchair
users, it links together publicly owned,
firm-surface trails.
For the 30 million Americans who live
near the route and for millions of visitors,
the ECG is emerging as
a safe, traffic-free route for exercise,
recreation, transportation and tourism.
In New Jersey, the ECG
runs 78 miles between Pennsylvania and
New York, passing through major urban
areas - Trenton, Princeton, New Brunswick,
Newark, and Jersey City - as well as
rural and suburban communities.
New Jersey has made great strides to locate the ECG off-road and, with more than half of its route now completed as off-road trails,
the state distinguishes itself nationwide as a leader in that category. These trails include the 35 mile D&R Canal State Park from
Trenton to New Brunswick. New Jersey's remaining 47 percent is still on-road for now, of which about 16 percent is in development
to become off-road in the next few years. The ECG through New Jersey generally follows rivers, providing a relatively level
alignment without major steep grades.
This guide allows users to easily follow the current travel route of the ECG across New Jersey. The directions include turn-by-turn
details to travel the ECG in either direction. The maps display both the current route and any locations where the long-term
proposed route diverges.
